Just had to share it with you all.

Over the weekend I gave the griff a sprig clean....wash, dry, wax, wheels polished, tyres gelled, exhusts polished, plastic window polished (no more scratches or marks), leather cleaned and nurrished, hovered, glass cleaned. Job done, nackered, one p1ssed off fiancee, dinner in dog! But it was worth it as she looks fantastic.......

......not much different to normal then! At least its ready for the better weather now and the mid essex meet this comming Sunday.

When you first apply it, its very good. However, after the hood has been folded up and down a dozen or so times the effect wears off, so frequent re-applications are required. On a griff, you are only talking one window, and its not that big, so its not much hassle. I have been told that its only a fine cutting paste, so you could save some money by buying any fine cutting paste. However, when I ran out, I bought a second bottle of Renevo. Hope this helps.

For the plastic back window, you cant beat Maguires Plast X. Just rub it in and wipe of residue. No powder. Best I have ever used to bring plastic back to life.

Go to the Meguiars web site.....www.meguiars.co.uk, go to the Shop tab, then Enthusiast, then other surfaces to get the low down. To find a stockist, go back to the home page and click on the Stockist Locator.....the rest is down to you!

You won't regret your purchase. You can also order on line I think.

I think its great stuff - I use it everytime I wash/wax the Griff - both inside and out. Continued use really softens up your back screen and makes it much more pliable. I also use the Aerospace 303 which is a UV protector as well, after Iv used Renovo (bought it at last years Growl).

2 tips
1) Use the Renovo on the front headlamp covers as well as it helps to bring them up nicely
2) Buy the £4.99 30ml sample bottle first off Renovo and when its empty keep the small bottle, buy a big bottle next 100ml I think) and then refill the small bottle and use it from there. You will use so much less that way as its not cheap

Cheers
